DALLAS November The fair and exposition
are over, and exposition hall is all confusion. By
Monday nearly all will be gone. The baby show
was the great attraction in the exposition hall to-
day. The reception room was crowded to euftoca-
ton by ladies and nurses, with the blessed little
pieces of humanity, Such racket such squesl'
ing, such picnic, have never been enjoyed in
Texas before. Fond mothers and relatives and staid
business and professional men were electoneering
for No. 81, II, 1Ol or whatever number might be
tied to "just the sweetest baby that was ever
born" A ward primary dwindles into significance
beside the baby show electioneering to-day,
The committee on awards were busy to-day, and
finished up in many departments, but some awards
will probably not be made until after the fair is
closed.
